WeRateDogs is a Twitter account that rates people's dogs with a humorous comment about the dog. These ratings almost always have a denominator of 10. The numerators, though? Almost always greater than 10. 11/10, 12/10, 13/10, etc. Why? Because " they're good dogs Brent." WeRateDogs has over 4 million followers and has received international media coverage.

Guess what, your dog might be the most favourite breed 4 million people are craving for

The following are the questions that might cross the mind of the audience; the most popular breed, top 5 favorite breeds, the relationship between the likes and the retweeted, the breed with the most likes and most tweets and the breeds with low ratings. In order to answer these questions, I have wrangled the WeRateDogs twitter data and have analyzed it to get answers to these questions. The analysis below will provide answers to the questions that may cross the hearts of the audience of WeRateDog.

Based on the first predictions, I analyzed my data and identified the top ten most popular dog breeds.. The Labrador retriever has always been my favorite dog. It is quite interesting to find it on the number two list of the most popular dog breeds.

I made use of python libraries such as PIL-Image, io and requests to fetch the top 5 images of the most liked (favorite) dog breeds, which are: Labrador_retriever, Lakeland_terrier, Chihuahua, French_bulldog, Eskimo_dog.

There is strong positive correlation between Favorites and retweets i.e a linear relationship between the retweet counts and the favorite counts. The same can be confirmed by the above scatterplot. The insight got here is that retweets are usually the favorites, but we cannot say that all theretweets are favorites, or vice versa.

Dogs with Lowest Rating

The least rated dogs were not sorted ascendingly because there are values that are not dog breeds towards the end of the first prediction column. One thing that is worthy of noticing is that the likes and retweets do not have any relationship with the rating. If we look at the ratings, we will see that the first 4 dog breeds brought out all have 9 as their rating number. This was such a fun analysis. Analyzing such interesting data sets actually drives me more into the field of data analysis. I hope WeRateDogs continues with its efforts and even the people who were not aware about them would now be more interested. Go check them on twitter and have some fun with tweet and retweet!!
